In this lesson we review all previous material from the study as we conclude that our Savior is rooted throughout every aspect of the entire Bible and not exclusively in the New Testament.
After their father dies without any sons, five sisters make a request to be his beneficiaries and God allows it. How does this connect to the virgin birth and what does it mean for God's sovereignty?
God sets up a strange system to deal with unintentional homicides using six of the forty-eight cities given to the Levites after the conquering of the Promised Land. How does this system point to Jesus?
In this lesson we discuss Bible numerics. Have you ever noticed there are a lot of "sevens" in Scripture? There are other numbers that are repeated as well and seem to be significant and relevant to various theological topics. We also take a look at hidden messages in this book we call "The Bible". Do they exist? If so, what is their purpose and how does it glorify our God and reveal Jesus?
What is "the Gospel" and when did it start? Was it created as a reaction to sin or has it always existed? What does it mean when we say God is "outside of time"? Are there messages to be uncovered in the Old Testament and in God's creation that reveal the eternal Gospel of Jesus?
God decides to quench the Israelites' thirst by bringing forth water from a rock--twice. God then judges the Israelites with deadly serpents but provides a miraculous healing. What is going on here and how does it involve our Savior?
What are the origins and purposes of the Mosaic Law, the Tabernacle and Temple system, and this strange box we call the Ark of the Covenant? Why should Christians be aware of the details of these seemingly "Old" topics and how do they point to Jesus Christ?
In this lesson, we conclude the topic of the HaMoyadim, or "God's Appointed Times", with the final three Fall festivals of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Booths. Will these festivals be literally fulfilled "to the day" like the previous four? How does eschatology fit with these final festivals? How do we find Jesus in these appointed times?
We continue our discussion about the appointed times of God as we detail the last two Spring festivals. What is First Fruits and Weeks all about and how does it affect me as a Christian?
The seven Feasts of Moses are just a traditional Jewish practice, right? Should Christians observe them? What are their significance and how do they point to the Messiah? We discuss the first two Spring feasts in this lesson.
In this lesson, we discuss marriage, why we have it, when it started, who was the first husband and bride, and who will be the ultimate fulfillment of husband and bride. Also, we will talk about the event of Isaac being united with his bride Rebekah and what this has to do with Jesus and the church.
This study takes a closer look at a very familiar story--"the Akedah" or "the binding" of Isaac. Does God encourage child sacrifice? How could a loving God put a father through something like this? Is there something else going on that is much deeper? Is this story for Abraham, Isaac, or someone else? We discuss these questions and much more in this lesson.
Our goals for this session are to have an understanding of "coincidence" because many things in this study will truly seem like coincidence, types of appearances and allusions of Jesus from the Old Testament, the differences between angels, spirits, and bodies, and who the “angel of the LORD” is.
The goals for this session are to have an understanding of the purpose and overview of the entire study, the Bible’s structure, the Bible’s integrity, and an overview of the entire story of the Bible. The theme passage of this study is Luke 24:25-27 where Jesus makes the following points--we should believe, know, and understand all of the Scriptures of which is all about Him.
